Absurd Nude Photography By Giuseppe Palmisano

He is Giuseppe Palmisano, also known as Iosonopipo. He is 25-years-old and he changed eleven addresses, moved through five different towns, lived within nine different cohabitations. He comes from Apulia, a region from the South of Italy and he manages a concert agency in Bologna, Northern Italy. Actually, he studied theatre in Rome, he’s an actor, poet and photographer. And maybe it’s exactly his photographic production – a compound of surrealism and “erotic absurd”, as many different international magazines defined him nowadays – “to be a mirror of his continuous trip, his relentless research, and all these various home shifts.”

First thing of all I noticed about his pictures, was the way naked bodies are employed. Magazines are telling truth, by defining Pipo one of the pioneers of this funny art movement – erotic absurd, really sharp genre, and surely not so simple to represent: Pipo knows how employ nude without malice, in such an ironic key.

Often bodies seem to be part of the furniture and give to an observer a familiar sensation: the first time I saw one of Pipo’s portraits, I saw him and his stories gathered by a female back, by a figure nestled under a sofa. Afterwards, I told him this thought, this emotion, when we started talking about his photographs, of his non-portraits.

I think it was interesting. How would you like it if you spent a while on this art project or something, posted on a website because you thought it was good, then get a bunch of terrible mean comments?!?! Being an artist, I know that it makes you feel terrible when people don't like your art, or even are just unimpressed. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it, and DON'T post it where everybody can see it.
